LOCATION

The subjects are situated within Eyemouth town centre.

Eyemouth is a small fishing town on the southeast coast of Scotland. It is situated to the east of Berwickshire, approximately eight miles northwest of Berwick-Upon-Tweed, forty-nine miles to the east of Edinburgh. The settlement has a population of 3,520 according to the 2020 Mid-Year Estimate compiled by the National Records of Scotland. This represents an increase of around 1.45% over the population recorded at the 2001 Census (3,470). This is small decrease on the population recorded at the 2011 Census (3,550).

There are East Coast Mainline Railway Stations at Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Dunbar, and the recently re-established station at the nearby town of Reston. Eyemouth and the surrounding area has benefitted from a significant amount of recent public and private sector investment to re-develop the town centre and the harbour area including the efforts of Eyemouth and East Berwickshire Partnership Regeneration. These works have modernised facilities for the local fishing industry and provided a boost to the areas tourism sector. In addition the town benefitted from a shop front improvement grant scheme in the autumn of 2019 and a grant of £100,000 to support the Eyemouth Harbour Trust Project to develop a new ice-making facility at the harbour to support local fishing fleets.

An application to the Scottish Government Regeneration Capital Grant Fund was also successful which assisted with the cost of demolition and clearance of the former fish market building and development of new purpose-built pods on the harbour front.
